Card Editor Panel

Location: Toolbar

The card image represents the data in the same format as it will be written upon export of the solver deck.

Card images are defined in the currently loaded template file.

Grey fields indicate assigned values that cannot be modified in the card editor, for example, material or property assignment fields, or grid connectivity for an element. Assigned fields that can be edited will have a gold field header. Clicking the field header presents a list of entity IDs which can be assigned to that field.

In Figure 1, all of the element options have been activated. The first 7 fields of the card cannot be edited. The 8th field presents a selector for the material coordinate system. In the remaining fields, enter floating point number values for the element offset of nodal thickness values.
